The ongoing saga between the two continues in Dallas
The Dallas Cowboys remain in ongoing discussions with star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb over a contract extension, with both sides expressing optimism about reaching an agreement before the start of the regular season. Owner Jerry Jones shared his thoughts on the negotiations during a media session at the team’s training camp in Southern California on Tuesday.
Lamb, who has been holding out of training camp, is seeking a long-term deal as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. His absence from camp has been noticeable, but Jones is confident that a resolution is on the horizon.
“I’m optimistic we’ll find common ground,” Jones said. “We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t want CeeDee to stay with us for the long haul. It’s just a matter of getting everything aligned.”
Lamb is currently on a $17.9 million fifth-year option, and while the details of the negotiations remain under wraps, it’s expected that the Cowboys are working toward a deal that reflects his value as one of the league’s top receivers. Lamb‘s performance last season, where he posted career highs with 1,749 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns on 135 receptions, has undoubtedly increased his market value. This summer, Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson set a new benchmark with a four-year, $140 million extension, which likely influences Lamb‘s contract discussions.
Jones also addressed the potential impact of the situation on the team and Lamb‘s response to earlier comments that sparked a reaction on social media. A few weeks prior, Jones had downplayed the urgency of finalizing the deal, which led to Lamb removing references to the Cowboys from his social media profiles.
Jones emphasized Lamb’s importance to the team
Jones later clarified those remarks, acknowledging the sensitivity of the situation and expressing his understanding of Lamb‘s perspective. “CeeDee is a key part of our team, and we miss him out here,” Jones said, emphasizing the importance of getting a deal done.
As the Cowboys gear up for their final preseason game and prepare for their regular season opener against the Cleveland Browns on September 8, the pressure to finalize the contract is mounting. Despite this, Jones remains focused on ensuring the deal is mutually beneficial.

For now, the Cowboys and their fans will have to wait and see if Lamb’s holdout ends before the season begins. Both sides appear committed to finding a solution, but the timeline remains uncertain.
